Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: War Tortoise at 4.9 against Nuts!'s 3.8. War Tortoise also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 529). Nuts!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
